Every season of the bachelor/ette the producers think it’s fun to throw in a handful of losers. Usually the losers stick around for four or five episodes before the chooser wises up and denies the gift of the beloved rose. And every episode that the loser stays on the show, us viewers throw things at the tv screen because we canNOT believe the bachelor can’t see what morons they are.
The loser this season is Wes. He hurts my eyes. Apparently he has told a couple guys he has a girlfriend (laurel), (an accusation that has yet to be aired) AND he has confessed that he is only on the show to promote his country album that’s coming out. Gag. He’s sung his one hit wonder more times than I care to recall…and by “song” I mean he sings, “They say love don’t come easy” about 30 times per episode and Jillian. Just. Swoooooooons. He’s a big fat liar and she has no clue.
Many men have tried to warn her about Wes. Jake missed his rose last season, but came flying back on his jet plane to warn Jillian about Wes’s supposed girlfriend. Jillian keeps having “talks” with Wes about his intentions and “girlfriend” and Wes, with his country boy accent, has had about enough saying something like
“I’m not gonna have this conversation again. I already tolldjyou that”. In ten years Wes will be a beer drinking, cotton picking, wife beater wearing wife beater. We’re just hoping that wife is not Jillian. Laurel can have him.
Unfortunately Jillian is not making this easy on herself. She breaks down, she doesn’t know who to believe, she doesn’t want to make the wrong decisions and she can’t TAKE any more surprises.
Cue the lights.
Ed…the guy who left the show because he had to go back to work…came back. He begged Jillian to let him back on the show and she did. I was glad to see this progression because it meant Jillian had to ask two guys to leave instead of one which just increased the odds of her giving Wes the boot.
And by “boot” I mean “rose” because that’s exactly what she gave him. She said goodbye to two of the only guys I actually liked. It’s no wonder Jillian has had such a hard time keeping a guy around. She’s proven her intuitive judge of character is slightly skewed.
And as much of a liar Wes is…and as much as we all hate him…there is one point Wes has made that does ring true, “they say love don’t come easy”…and it sure don’t.
The remaining men:
Ed.
Kyptyn.
Wes.
Reid.
